Chapter 290: Chapter 160 Senior Sister: "I’ll step on your back for you." - 3
As he spoke, he turned his head to Deng Shu and remarked with a teasing smile, "I remember Junior Brother Deng’s experience is somewhat similar to this."
Deng Shu, holding a large knife, retorted, "I am not like him, barely making it in time. When I go back, I always strike first."
Guan Wen interjected, "There are actually quite a few cultivators with similar experiences."
"It’s normal," Jiang Wuya said sternly, "Survival of the fittest, going against fate, either you remain weak, or you rise by overthrowing the higher-ups. Without tempering, one cannot become great. Who among us hasn’t killed a few enemies?
It’s only because our Wandao Sect is located on the front line of the Two Realms Pass and thanks to the Sect Master’s policy, that there aren’t so many conspiracies."
Lu Jin’an tapped the table, "Let’s not discuss this for now. My idea is to start from these common points."
He glanced over the people present, his voice calm, "Yang Family, Baoyuan Sect, Xunfeng Country, and the Secret Realm trip that the Divine Intent Sect and other sects competed for not long ago. Yang Guan always arrived when casualties were over half, so start from this angle."
"Each time, casualties were over half..." Zhao Shize walked to the table, picked up the intelligence and looked at it, "Tsk, does he really have no memory at all? Or is it intentionally timing things so precisely?"
Lu Jin’an said blandly, "So start from this angle. Whether by chance or on purpose, his actions are deliberate."
Jiang Wuya and others understood Lu Jin’an’s words.
Let everyone believe that the crises of the sect where Yang Guan belongs were all results manipulated by Yang Guan behind the scenes.
Once this is established, Yang Guan would suffer a total collapse of reputation.
"Do you intend to use this to make Yang Guan reveal a flaw and expose the facts related to the Upper Realm?" Jiang Wuya softly inquired.
"Yes," Lu Jin’an nodded, "Only after it’s substantiated can it be justified."
Inside, he actually had a deeper consideration, which is that the Upper Realm didn’t know he had gained a portion of authority from Emperor Fengdu, allowing him to explore all the secrets of the soul.
When Yang Guan actively reveals a flaw, it won’t startle them, causing other possessors from the Upper Realm to hide even deeper — since Yang Guan exposed himself.
’If no new list can be acquired from Yang Guan’s memory, then first directly capture those known by Lan Cangjun.’
Lu Jin’an silently pondered; if not for the potentially new list, he wouldn’t have used such a troublesome method.
"You, in two, three teams, secretly set out, starting respectively from the Yang Family, Baoyuan Sect, and Xunfeng Country," Lu Jin’an stood up and walked to the railing, hands behind his back, "Gentlemen can be deceived by principles, but don’t let this phrase constrain you, so act freely, and aggressive means are acceptable."
"If Yang Guan truly is a possessor, then it’s a war with the Upper Realm. If not..."
Lu Jin’an turned to look at them, calm as the breeze and clouds, "He offended me, that’s all."
Jiang Wuya and others bowed, "As you command."
"Oh, by the way," Lu Jin’an’s expression relaxed, and he joked, "My Senior Sister wants to see the sunset at Sunset Canyon, so the two of us came for a vacation."
Guan Wen chuckled and said, "Saint Heir, leave the matters to us, you can rest assured and enjoy your trip with Senior Mu."
"Such a small matter doesn’t need you to act personally," Qiu Shiting added, "You just wait for the result."
Lu Jin’an nodded, "Then see you at Sunset Canyon in five days."
Jiang Wuya bowed, "Saint Heir, we shall set off first then."
"Mm," Lu Jin’an responded, "Involving the Upper Realm, be cautious in everything."
After Jiang Wuya and others left, Lu Jin’an returned to the table. The summer heat at the end of the summer was much less than before, but the focused Lu Jin’an’s forehead was dotted with fine sweat as he reviewed the intelligence again.
He carried the intelligence and walked into the cabin, with Mu Qingyue following his steps.
Lu Jin’an did not enter the bedroom where Qiu Qingtang was but chose another unoccupied one.
Sitting in the chair, he closed his eyes and contemplated, performing the "Great Freedom Visualization Technique" to deduce and calculate the clues related to Yang Guan.
As he thought, he felt that he could also join the Tianyan Pavilion; as long as he didn’t encounter a Qi Fortune Teller, his calculations might even be more accurate than Si Xiuqi’s.
Soon collecting his thoughts, Lu Jin’an placed the intelligence on the table and recalled a clue about Yang Guan from the intelligence in his mind.
Possessors from the Upper Realm start possession from a young age of seven or eight because there is a risk of failure if the Qi Fortune Tellers in the Lower Realm are powerful.
Therefore, those who can cross the Sitting and Illuminating Realm must be steadfast in their minds, but they must inherit the original body’s ’obsession’ to perfectly achieve ’Self.’
And Yang Guan’s obsession can be summed up in one phrase: "Little Tadpole Looking for Mommy."
Would a mother accept such a thing, where the child she bore and raised with hardship is possessed by others?
Lu Jin’an sent a message back to the Wandao Sect, searching for information about a woman named ’Yin Su.’
After doing all this, Lu Jin’an felt a cool sensation on his temple, comfortably letting out a sigh.
"Junior Brother, does it feel good?"
"Mm."
"Then I’ll massage it for a while."
"Okay..."
As Lu Jin’an spoke, he felt his Senior Sister’s fingers leave his temples, and then Mu Qingyue walked to his front.
"Huh?" An unusual color flashed in Lu Jin’an’s eyes, "Senior Sister, why are you untying your skirt..."
Lu Jin’an’s voice abruptly stopped, because he saw the black silk stockings on his Senior Sister’s legs.
Mu Qingyue tilted her head and looked at him, "What?"
"Nothing, go ahead."
Mu Qingyue’s lips curled into a smile, "Junior Brother has worked hard for several days; I’ll step on your back for you."
